How to Encourage a Dog

Learn to
love and watch a dog accomplish what they set out to do. Capture the moment
that resides in all of us. The moment of accomplishment of though, focus,
action and movement in perfect harmony.

This is
what brings into creation the art of being able to put in motion a thought in real life with the joy of the moment.

Dog love
to please us, they have proven time and time again throughout history that they
will do for us anything we ask or need with tail wagging joy and total
commitment.

They
learn early on to come to us and ask us to take them for a walk, to feed them
and to love them. They know how to get our attention and we've all heard about
how well our dogs train us.

A well
trained dog is actually a partnership built on trust and love with its handler.

Dogs that are trained to fear being wrong are not working with their handler as
a teammate, as a partner. They are reacting from fear of punishment and have
learned that the handler will scare them if they do that behavior again.

They have not learned to think of the performance but of the punishment. Even
the slightest punishment puts the dog's attention on what you are doing
"to" him and not what he is doing at the moment.

We want
your dogs to be thinking of what they can do for you instead of what you might
do to them.

Training
dogs with food rewards can bring on a similar response where the dog is only
working for the food and not with you as a team member. Food therefore, is only
recommended as a way to motivate the dog to begin to pay attention and then the
food should be replaced with praise that leads to teamwork.

Miss Lilly and Tammi2005We're so proud of these 2 !

Tammi, Lilly and Bert (pictured below) are a team we are extremely proud of.

Lilly, along with Wrinkledpups Bloodhound Bert and Tammi made an incredible 1st Find after only a short time in training. Tammi got Lilly from us when Lilly was 6 yrs old and Bert when he was 6 months old.

These were Tammi's first Bloodhounds and after training for only a few months with a local law enforcement trainer in their area, they were called on a search for a missing elderly couple.

The couple's car was found after the couple had been missing for quite a long time. Tammi called me to tell me after she scented the dogs on the car, both dogs led her through the woods to a old empty house. Lilly went to the sofa and got on the sofa then the floor and she did not want to move. Bert scratched at the floor and walls. The house was a mess, full of trash and furnishings everywhere. It looked like nobody had been in the house for years.

Tammy could not figure out what was wrong with the dogs. Lilly did not want to do anything but lay there. Bert ? Well he was young and maybe just wanted to play?

Always trust your dog...I told her to go back and do the same as she did before. Watch the dogs, they are trying to tell her something. She did exactly that and with the police, the elderly couple was found buried in the wall and floor of the house. They had been murdered and missing for months.
